Winter brings cold weather for most of the globe. Chances are, you experience cold weather in the winter and your skin is not that happy about it. Cold weather can be very tough on your skin, and the heating we use to keep ourselves warm means winter dryness isn't far behind.

Lips: There are two main things to remember about lips in winter. The first is simple. Don't lick your lips.

This seems strange, because licking dry lips feels like the right thing to do to re-hydrate them. Instead, every time you lick then they get drier. You want to use a lip balm, instead. Lip balm can help rehydrate your lips, and will help prevent drying in the first place.

Face: You have to keep up with a good moisturizing routine when the weather is cold. If you are unsure what type of product would be best for you, consult a specialist before you make a purchase. A specialist can analyze your skin, and then help you pick the exact product for your needs.

Hands: Hands are often hit hard by winter dryness. The skin on your hands is the thinnest skin on your body. Plus, hands don't have many oil glands to help keep the skin moisturized. The result is that hands get dry easily and quickly in cold weather.

Keep your hands moisturized. Beyond moisturizer, you should be careful with gloves. Wool gloves can cause itching, and that can be miserable and irritating. If you must wear wool gloves, wear thin cotton gloves as a liner. Avoid wet gloves, these can make your hands chapped and dry.

Feet: Keep away from wet socks, they are as bad for your feet as wet gloves are for hands. You'll get irritated skin. You also want to take extra care with feet and skin maintenance in winter, especially if you wear heavy shoes or winter boots. Exfoliate regularly - if you have a lot of dry dead skin on your feet, it will be difficult for your moisturizer to penetrate and be effective.

There are other general tips to remember to make sure all of your skin stays as supple and healthy as possible. For starters, remember that dry air is the enemy of healthy skin. When you run a heater, you should also run a humidifier to counteract the dryness. Bowls of water near vents or on radiators don't' really do the trick. Also, you still need sunscreen. Just because it is cold does not mean that the sun's rays cannot damage your skin.
